Hi Lexy,
Chances are, your calculator has a program called "Transfrm" on it that is preventing the calculator from graphing more than one function at a time. Luckily this is easily remedied.

1) Turn calculator on and press the "APPS" key.
2) Scroll down (towards the bottom of the list) and find the "Transfrm" program.
3) With the program highlighted, press the "Enter" key.
4) Highlight the "Uninstall" option and press "Enter".

Once the program is uninstalled, the graphing function of the calculator should be working correctly, allowing you to graph more than one function at a time.

Hope this helps :-)

When I type in a function for y1 and have it in standard form the calculator says range Error. How do I change the range, because it wont let me go to the graph. Which is where I would then click V-window...

A linear function in standard form is of the form Ax+By+C=0, where A is a positive integer, B and C are integers (positive or negative).
The problem is that calculators graph a function given in functional form y= ax+b.Thus to graph a function in standard form by means of a graphing utility you must isolate the y variable. The interesting thing about the Prizm (Casio graphing calculator) is that you select which variable to isolate y (usually) or x if you so choose. To choose to graph the function x=Dy+E you must select the function type as X=.

Hi, I wonder how to use a TI89 to graph a multivariable functions's 3D picture. Thanks.

Hello,

First you must configure your calculator to perform 3D graphics
Press MODE
1.The first line shown is Graph. Unfold the hidden menu list with the right arrow and choose Graph 5:3D
2. Press ENTER to validate.

Now you must define the surface you want to draw
1. Press the [diamond] key then [Y=] to get a list of function names, the first of which is z1
2. Enter the following function (or your own) z1=(x^3*y-y^3*x)/390
( x cubed times y -y cubed times x) divided by 390.
3 Press ENTER.

Graph the function
Press the [diamond] key then [GRAPH]

The graphing screen displays progress in %. When it is finished you will see a weird sombrero.

Hope it helps

When i go to graph something it says "ERR: INVALID

You're probably trying to graph a function that does not involve stat plot features while the calculator is expecting them. You can correct this by turning off the stat plot features. Press "2ND" "STAT PLOT" and then select 4:PlotsOff.

If this doesn't do it, could you reply to this post and give the function you're trying to graph?

On my calc it wont let me graph two lines

Some time or othefr you played with the Transfrm Application. It remains in memory and takes over the graphing capabilities of the native OS. You must kick it out of memory.

  1. Press [APPS]
  2. Use Up or Down arrows (Up is faster) to get to the bottom of the APPS list.
  3. Locate [:Transfrm], highlight it and press [ENTER]
  4. In subsequent screen, select the [UNINSTALL] option.
  5. Go back to the [Y=] screen and enter or edit your functions.
  6. Press [GRAPH] when finished entering the functions.

The X-Values in the Table for a graph wont reset, i have deleted the equation and there is no graph plotted, however they wont disappear. Also, i tried accessing the X on the top of the table, and it did...

What are you trying to do? You drew a graph, then you cleared the function graphed and went to the table to see if the X values have disappeared and they did not.Right?

By pressing the [SHIFT][(TABLE) key you were in fact commanding the calculator to generate a table for a function but you did not supply (nothing in Y= editor), and the calculator faithfully obeyed you. It looked at the Xmin of the window, looked at the Xscl factor and generated a blank table that contains all the X-Coordinates (where your function or table would have been calculated had you entered a valid expression in the Y= editor). That is how it works.

Can't graph multiple functions

You have used the TRansfrm application. It remains in memory and takes over the graphing responsibilities from the native OS. You must kick it out of RAM (No, that will not delete it from the calculator).
  1. Press [APPS]
  2. Scroll along the list of APPS
  3. Find TRansfrm and point to it.
  4. Press [ENTER]
  5. Select the Uninstall option.
  6. Open the [Y=] function editor and type in the functions (up to 10)
  7. Press Graph.

How do you fix an MA error when attempting to graph a function? I have even tried to graph simple functions like (X) or (5) and it still says MA error.

A. This is due to a mathematical error such as
  1. dividing by 0,
  2. an illogical operation,
  3. calculations outside the range of a function,
  4. using the exponential function with the [^] key,
  5. logarithm of a negative number,
  6. calculating the factorial of numbers larger that 69,
  7. what have you.
  8. Check the expression of the function you are trying to graph.
B. Reset your calculator and start again: Press the button on the back of the calculator; use a starightened paper clip.Draw the line y=XPress Menu.
  1. Use keys to highlight [GRAPH] and press [EXE].
  2. Make sure the screen that opens says Graph Func Y= at the top.
  3. On the Y1= line enter X (use the [X,theta,T] key under the [ALPHA] key.
  4. Press [F6:Draw].
  5. You should see a staright line passing through the origin (0,0).

I can't graph more than one equation in the y= area of my Ti 84+

Hello,
The marking that so puzzle you define the type of line (or dots) to represent the graphs. Enter as many functions as there are Y variables.
After entering a function press [ENTER] to jump to the next one.
When finished entering all functions press GRAPH. If you want graphs drawn one after the other, in MODE highlight Sequential (6th line) and press ENTER. If you want graphs drawn simultaneously, in MODE (6th line) highlight Simul and press ENTER. Press 2ND QUIT to return to previous screen . Execute graph again.
Hope itr helps.
